Listen I can see the two sides of this very much. One side says that if you give the child of you the unique name then they can do the standing out from the crowd. The other side of this says to provide to the child of you the most common names of the others so they can have the sharing in the glory of the name. I do not know which side of this is the correct side and am doing the asking of you the Fark.com members but I can also provide to you the reasons for each of the sides to provide the greater chance of making the decision through the information upon which has been the provision of me. You are welcome.

One side of this says to provide to the child of you the unique name. The reason for this side is the simple one. In the twenty years the child of you can have the LAUGHTERS OLS about the individuals who all have the same names and also play the prankings by doing the drive to Texas and go to the crowd to say JACOBBBBBBB. Or perhaps to Nebraska to say, "LIAMMMMMMMM." Or perhaps to Florida to say, "JAYDENNNNNN." This last one of course is the jokings of me because if the child of you goes to the area of Florida upon which Jayden is said he will be the one who has the shankings provided. Now this side is also saying that perhaps the child of you will stand out on the resume because the person who is doing the hiring will say OH NO NOT THE NEW APPLICANT NAMED SOPHIA! WE HAVE EIGHT OF THOSE ALREADY IN THE OFFICE OF THIS! Then they will wish for hiring the unique named child of you because they will say OH THIS IS THE APPLICANT OF THE NAME DAWNLIZABETH THIS IS THE NAME WHICH IS EASY FOR REMEMBRANCE OF! Of course there is also the bad parts of this and that is that listen no one cares about the stupid unique name of the child of you. What will you do also continue doing the wiping of this child into the 20s. The unique name does not provide to you the uniqueness because you are not the individual who is that different from the rest of the people who wish for the difference. Do you see this. By trying to be the person upon which is different you are just being the person who is the same. BAM the head of you did the explosion. It is okay I am here for you to do the explanation.

The other side of this is the simple one and that is that if you provide to the child of you the same name as many others then it makes the job of the teacher much easier. The roommate of me is the bigger person and she always is doing the ordering at the Starbucks. She gets the creme frappucino with extra creme and gets three of these at the time and they often say the name of she without ever doing the misspelling of this like they do with many of the names having uniqueness. JESSICA THE ORDER OF YOU IS READY is what is said by they. The other reason for this is that if you provide to the child the name upon which everyone has then they can be the better person of pulling the crime spree because the witness to this will say SHE DID THE ANSWERING TO THE NAME OF EMMA. Well now this does not offer the provision of helping to catch the person because listen to how many of these there are. The problem with choosing the name which is popular is that listen you are being the schmuck. Mason? Really? LAUGHTER OL that is the dumbest name perhaps only rivaled by Liam and Elijah and Noah and Jayden. WT THE F WHO THE F DOES THE NAMING OF THE CHILDS LIKE THESE? Do you wish for the child of you to live with the wedgie by someone else who also mocks the name of these. For the example you are born in Colorado and have the Liam but move to Pennsylvania where suddenly the child of you is being bullied by the boy named Mason. Do they see the irony of this? No they do not. Mason does not realize that he is also the jokings of the person.

So I have given to you one side and then also to you the other side. What is the opinion of you the Fark.com website? If you were to be the judgings of this then who would be provided to you by being the side which has correction?

Protip to any parents using a list to determine if they should or should not name their kid something.

Don't do it.

There are thousands of other parents trying to come up with a name, looking at the most popular name lists, then going to the middle and choosing one.

Just name your kid what you want (including Messiah, lol).

We didn't use a list other than to try and estimate how many kids might also have the same name. My youngest did dodge being named "Seamus" (pronounced Shay-mus) though, because one consideration we did make was "How easy is it to combine with my already really, really, REALLY easy to make fun of last name to make something insulting.

//It's insanely easy to make fun of my last name, and some adults still think it's funny.

I had three strict rules when it came time to decide names for our kids.* Nothing so common that some other kid in their classroom is likely to have the same name.* Nothing so unusual that they have to spend their lives explaining how it's spelled.* Unambiguous as to the gender, so no Pat or Chris.

Most of those are actually not the names I would have expected. And that is one serious lack of name diversity in any case.

Hm. I really never would have guessed. Also... Elijah? I'd have figured that to be waaaay lower. Of course, I just got back from Oklahoma last weekend and I could believe that now more than I could have done 3 weeks ago.

Does anyone else think it's weird that Walt's wife name is Skyler? I mean, she's in her 40's. Nobody in their 40's is named "Skyler". It just doesn't suit the character. It just has bugged me from day one. Oh, and I really need a life.

Ah yes, the parents who name their children as if they were a pet with no awareness that will grow up to be adults. Then again, the way things are now, it's very likely they will be living at home and being supported by their parents for the rest of their lives so I guess it now makes sense.

My favorite is when people spell it "Schuyler" and the kid ends up getting called "Shoe-ler"

I figured she was the daughter of New Age hippies who moved to New Mexico after Woodstock.

I'm quite close to forty, and I went to school with a girl my age named Skyler (same spelling and all). Until very recently, she was the only Skyler I had ever met in my life. I also went to school with a Mackenzie and a McKenna, two girls from two different families who received surnames as first names.

So, yes, even in the 1970s, parents were doing this to their kids, just not in the same numbers they are doing it now.

Never thought about it before but yeah... yer right. Damn that's gonna irk me now.

That's Teagan-- and by the time that'd make any difference, she'll probably be out of the business anyway. (And really, if you stopped naming kids after porn stars, we'd have to drop Rachel, Kelly, Naomi, Ava, Megan, Angelina, Nina, Sarah, Jenny, Katie, Nicole, Amy, Kimberly, April, etc...)

Yeah, you just don't see it as often as you do now. Then there is my parents who went with the typical 60's names for their kids. Barbara. Yuk. You NEVER see a baby or young girl named Barbara anymore.

A friend of mine and his fiancee recently had a baby boy, so I asked the name. Cayden. (could be Caden, Kaden, Kaydenn, Caidynn, I really don't know.) Took all of my willpower to not respond "Really? How original."

Teagan is a really horrible, trendy name to name your kid. It's not going to age well.

Give it a few years. It'll make the cycle again as people go through the lists and go "Hmmm, Barbara isn't a commonly used name, I'll give them that".

jcmjx:You think these names are weird, but I'd like to see a list of most popular inner-city names.

I'd wager that Jacob and Micheal are the most popular inner-city names in Cali and NY, because the most people live in the urban areas and these types of maps are really nothing more than population distribution maps.
